Hari Mirch ka Achar
This post is also available in: हिन्दी
Hari mirch ka achar is a delicious pickle that most people love to have. In this post, I will tell you the steps of making green chilli pickles at home.
Making green chilli pickles is very easy compared to other pickles. It is also prepared in a few days as compared to raw mango pickles, lemon pickles etc.
In this chilli pickle recipe, I have used mustard seeds, fenugreek seeds, fennel seeds, turmeric, garam masala, and hing for giving lots of great flavours.
Green chillies will absorb the flavour of these spices and the taste of it will be great.
Green chilli pickle goes well with any Indian meal like dal, vegetable sabzi, rice, curd etc.
When I prepare this pickle then I take it almost daily with my meal.
I have used very less oil for making it. You can add more mustard oil to the pickle. You need to heat the mustard oil first, and use it when it is cool down.
In this recipe, I have taken those chillies which are not hot. You can take any chillies which you like. If your chillies are small then cut them into pieces.
If they are too hot, then add lemon juice for controlling the hotness of the chilli.
